Hi,

I finally got another crash while pressing the
reply button while mail was arriving.  (I think
that's what did it.)

So, now I've a core file but

gdb -c core
bt

does not get me anything.

I suspect that I'm not running the right
image.  When starting gdb I get:
(no debugging symbols found)

I see that the balsa-dbg package has a
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/balsa file.
Should I be executing this file?
